On July 5, 2018, around 12:30 a.m., multiple suspects approached a
family celebrating 4th of July near the 1600 block of West 2nd
Street. The suspects opened fire at the family killing three, which
included a woman who was approximately 5 months pregnant. Three
additional people were shot, one who was shielding her young
daughter from the multitude of gunfire.

We are asking for the public's help in identifying these dangerous
people who indiscriminately fired into a group, which included
children celebrating the holiday. We believe there were people that
witnessed this shooting and are asking them to please help identify
these people that committed this heinous crime. Detectives believe
this was a gang related killing.

The victims are 19-year-old Junior Salinas, his 18-year-old
girlfriend Abril Onofre, who was also five months pregnant and an
18-year-old family friend, Ruben Alcantara. All of them are
survived by family that would like to have some closure by
identifying theses suspects and are asking for the public's
help.
